Ian Taylor isn't on it, so it can piss off.

McCormack and the gate, Charlie Athersmith holding up an umbrella over Dalian Atkinson, some coppers having a kick about for the European cup in the background, the meeting under a gas lamp, Barry with a seagull on his head, Ramsey joining in a game of park football, the African Car Reverser, McGregor’s drapers shop, the Villa Chippy, … just make the whole thing a bunch of individual stories that people can actually point to and tell a young fan about them about.
